I was out of town on vacation shopping for a boat and I felt like I was getting the run around from a Florida used boat dealer. The boat was a shady deal with bad outboard serial numbers.
I put a call in to Charleston Marine and they went out of their way to call Honda and get all the info I needed. When the Florida dealer “called Honda” they came back to me with completely different info. I wasted some miles and a night in a hotel, but at least I didn’t buy some questionable motors.
After shopping around a bit more, I found a different boat that was a good deal, it just needs a little heavy duty love to bring her back to spec.
Charleston marine was happy to help and didn’t ask for anything in return, so I figured I would share the story with you guys. I’ll be paying them back with my future business.
